In 1998, to celebrate the Queen Mother, the Royal Mint released on behalf of Guernsey a Limited Issue Queen Mother £50 Fifty Pound Gold Proof Coin struck in solid 24 Carat Gold weighting one half ounce of pure Gold.
The reverse design depicts the Queen Mother while the obverse features the stunning portrait of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II designed by Ian Rank Broadley.
These legal tender coins have been struck to proof quality using specially prepared dies and highly polished blanks.
